Food supplements: what are they?

As their name suggests, dietary supplements provide the body with an additional source of nutrients in addition to a balanced and varied diet. Depending on the needs and composition, the dietary supplement has a different function. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the benefits of dietary supplements.

The regulations

Dietary supplements are marketed in the form of capsules, lozenges, tablets, pills, powder sachets, or liquid. They are governed by French and European regulations that stipulate the ingredients, dosages, and mandatory and authorized labeling measures. French legislation also specifies that dietary supplements cannot be marketed as "organic" because they contain synthetic vitamins. However, we formulate dietary supplements from organic plants in our laboratories.

Who can take dietary supplements?

Dietary supplements can be taken for skin , hair , and digestive problems. They are suitable for everyone, as long as you do not have any particular contraindications. Consult a doctor if in doubt (treatment, pregnancy, breastfeeding, pathology, etc.) before consuming dietary supplements.

How to take food supplements?

Our dietary supplements can be taken continuously to provide nutrients and minerals as part of a balanced diet. It is also possible to take the dietary supplements we offer simultaneously to meet different needs.

We recommend taking 2 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach. Our capsules are designed to be suitable even for sensitive stomachs.

Benefits of food supplements: why take them?

Our diet acts as fuel for our body. It allows the proper functioning of the body, from organs to muscles. However, it is not always enough! Food supplements therefore complement it for a gain in nutrients or other substances: plants, minerals (vitamin C, magnesium, etc.), antioxidants, trace elements (zinc, iron, etc.), amino acids, fatty acids, active ingredients, etc. Alone or in combination, the components help to meet certain needs, deficiencies in enriched foods or to act on specific problems. They provide a health benefit that plays a major role in our external appearance. Some supplements act to combat stress, improve immune defense, prepare your skin for the sun , etc. We have designed specific formulas to promote good health on the inside, which is seen on the outside, convinced that the proper functioning of our body acts directly on our skin.

Which food supplement should I choose?

In case of skin problems (acne, rosacea, etc.), we recommend:

• Balance & Glow : it helps to effectively fight against oxidative stress responsible for premature aging of the skin and helps to soothe skin reactions during hormonal changes.
• French Glow : ideal for soothing and rebalancing the skin from within. It's your ally for soothing redness and boosting the complexion's radiance.
• Pure Glow: formulated for blemish-prone skin, it works from the inside out to fight acne, purify the skin and limit breakouts.

To fight the signs of aging:

• Matcha Glow Collagen : Our best-selling marine collagen combined with vitamin C and organic matcha green tea leaf powder. Rich in antioxidants, it boosts hydration and stimulates collagen synthesis to improve skin texture and elasticity.
• Collagen Cacao Glow : Formulated with hydrolyzed marine collagen combined with vitamin C, it improves skin elasticity and firmness. It also contains guarana powder which helps reduce fatigue, with a natural cocoa flavor.

For hair problems (hair loss, oily hair, irritated scalp, etc.):

• Hair & Scalp Boost Promotes hair growth by targeting the scalp: it supports the balance of the skin microbiome, promotes natural hair growth and improves hair strength.

If you experience sleep problems:

• Sleep & Glow promotes sleep and helps skin regenerate during the night.

Oxidative stress: An imbalance between the production of free radicals and the amount of antioxidants in the body. In excess, free radicals can impair cell function. Antioxidants, on the other hand, protect cells. A lack of antioxidants and an overproduction of free radicals therefore create an imbalance that causes skin aging and other discomforts (fatigue, joint problems, etc.).

By adopting a healthy and balanced lifestyle in addition to taking dietary supplements, you will be able to feel the effects on your skin. Expect at least two months before you see a difference.

The active ingredients

To formulate our dietary supplements, we use plants transformed into dry extracts. This technique allows us to preserve as much of their active ingredients as possible. It is the nature and concentration of the active ingredient that will allow us to judge the quality and effectiveness of a dietary supplement.

The active ingredients act on the brain, hormonal secretion, and all body functions. They stimulate and improve the production of certain cells essential to our body.

Bioavailability

Bioavailability: ability of the food supplement to be absorbed by the body.

Bioavailability is an important factor in the quality of a dietary supplement. For the supplement to be effective, the active ingredient must be able to cross the intestinal membrane and must be able to remain in the target area for a sufficient period of time. Many factors affect the bioavailability of a supplement: the person's age, health, gender, chemical form of the nutrients, etc.

We recommend not opening the capsules to dissolve them so that they disintegrate at the right place in the intestine and release the probiotics at the right time. The capsules in our dietary supplements are relatively small and easy to swallow.

Caution: A dietary supplement is not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. It is not a medicine. If your problems persist, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. When taking dietary supplements, carefully follow the indicated dosages.
